You could use a deep expression to create a version of the image that turns all 
samples with an alpha of 0.0 to an alpha of 1.0 and black RGBA with the rest 
being set to 0.0 - then use that as a deep holdout with remove empty pixels on. 

Maybe.  I haven't tried it with Nukes tools - but a thought.
